Talakjung vs Tulke Timeline Explained: Your Questions Answered

When does it happen, and why in that order? The questions people ask about the chronology of Talakjung vs Tulke (2014): time jumps, flashbacks, cause and effect between scenes and the correct order of events, each answered with spoilers.

Q1

Why does Fuli accuse Tulke of molestation and exile him?

Fuli accuses Tulke of molestation to save him after he drunkenly reveals Hanuman's secret rebel status to Babu Raja and Binay. Knowing that Tulke would be killed for exposing the rebel's identity, Fuli stages the false accusation to get him out of the village safely. This act appears betraying but is actually protective, as Fuli is herself a Maoist rebel working to save Tulke from the corrupt village leaders.

Foreshadowing: Earlier, Fuli is shown working alongside Suke serving Babu Raja, establishing her dual role as someone operating within the corrupt system while secretly working against it.

  • fuli accusation
  • tulke exile
  • molestation charge
  • babu raja
  • hanuman secret
Q2

Who kills Hanuman in the movie?

Hanuman is killed by Babu Raja and Binay, the wealthy village merchant and his accomplice. They murder Hanuman to crush the Maoist rebellion and maintain their dictatorial control over the village. This act motivates Tulke to seek revenge against his former employers.

Foreshadowing: When Tulke spots Hanuman among the rebels and urges to join, Babu Raja and Binay immediately become interested in gathering intelligence about rebel activities.

  • hanuman death
  • babu Raja
  • binay murder
  • maoist rebels
Q3

Why does Tulke want to join the Maoist rebels?

Tulke wants to join the rebels for two main reasons: first, he sees his friend Hanuman among them and wants to stand with him; second, as a laborer constantly humiliated by Babu Raja, he sees the rebellion as a path to respect and recognition. His desire to reclaim a lost aristocratic identity drives him toward the revolutionary cause that promises social change.

Foreshadowing: The film establishes early on that Tulke is a cheerful man but one who yearns for respect in a village where the wealthy Babu Raja wields dictatorial power over the common people.

  • tulke joins rebels
  • maoist rebellion
  • hanuman
  • respect
  • identity
Q4

What happens to Suke at the end of the movie?

Suke, who is revealed to be an actual Maoist rebel alongside Fuli and Tanke, kills Babu Raja during the brutal war between rebels and police. However, Suke is shot and dies soon after his victory over the village dictator. His death represents the heavy cost the rebellion extracts from its participants.

Foreshadowing: Suke is shown as one of Babu Raja's workers alongside Fuli, but the later revelation that he, Fuli, and Tanke are the real rebels explains his initial proximity to power.

  • suke death
  • suke kills babu raja
  • rebel war
  • police confrontation
Q5

Why does Tulke refuse to identify Fuli as a rebel when arrested?

When police arrest Tulke and find explosives in his home, they demand he identify Fuli as a rebel. Tulke refuses, choosing love over loyalty to the revolutionary cause. Despite everything that has happened, including her false accusation that exiled him, Tulke's feelings for Fuli remain intact, and he protects her even at the cost of his own freedom.

Foreshadowing: Throughout the film, Tulke struggles to express his feelings for Fuli, and her false accusation, though protective, creates the central emotional wound he carries.

  • tulke refuses to identify fuli
  • love vs loyalty
  • arrest
  • fuli escape
Q6

Who are the real rebels in the village?

The real rebels hiding within Babu Raja's inner circle are Fuli, Suke, and Tanke, all three of whom work for the wealthy merchant while secretly serving the Maoist insurgency. Their double life allows them to gather intelligence while appearing loyal to the dictatorship. Tanke is one of Tulke's close friends, making the betrayal of the revolution more personal when revealed.

Foreshadowing: Fuli and Suke are shown serving Babu Raja from the beginning, making their later reveal as rebels a significant twist that recontextualizes their earlier actions.

  • real rebels
  • fuli rebel
  • suke rebel
  • tanke rebel
  • maoist insurgents
Q7

Why does Babu Raja decide to fund the Maoist rebellion?

Babu Raja and Binay decide to fund the rebellion as a strategic maneuver to protect themselves. By financially supporting the rebels while simultaneously feeding information to police, they attempt to control both sides of the conflict. However, the demand for money keeps growing, and when Binay enlists police help to wipe out the rebels, the scheme collapses into open warfare.

Foreshadowing: This double-dealing is hinted at when Babu Raja and Binay use Tulke to gather information about Hanuman, showing their willingness to manipulate both rebels and authorities for personal power.

  • babu raja funding rebels

The film ends with Tulke reflecting on the price of rebellion and the cost of listening to his heart, leaving his fate uncertain but clearly trapped.

Foreshadowing: Tulke's stubborn loyalty to his friends and love for Fuli, established throughout the film, culminate in his final choice to protect her despite the personal consequences.

  • tulke arrested
  • tulke fate
  • ending
  • fuli leaves
Q9

Why does Tulke return to his village after exile?

Tulke returns to his village for two reasons: first, after his city gang is exposed and the boss killed, he returns with money only to find his friends and the old man missing; second, after learning that Hanuman was killed by Babu Raja and Binay, he returns seeking revenge for the wrongs done to him and his family. The old man pleads with him to return to the city, but Tulke's desire for justice and recognition pulls him back into the conflict.

  • tulke returns
  • village
  • revenge
  • hanuman death
Q10

How does Tulke end up as the sole survivor of the city gang?

Tulke becomes the sole survivor when the city gang he joined in Kathmandu is exposed by police. The gang boss is killed in a police encounter, and somehow Tulke escapes death. He returns to his village with the gang's money, only to discover his world has changed dramatically with his friends missing and the political conflict escalating.

Q11

What is Tulke's background and lost aristocratic identity?

Tulke is described as a simpleton day-laborer who yearns to reclaim his lost aristocratic identity.
